I'll second that - MM/DD causes confusion here. ISO dates confuse a lot of people too but are at least an international standard and as a bonus they work in as expected when sorting (as strings). ISO 8601 has some flexibility in its syntax, why not be explicit and say W3CDTF? http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime This would be consistent with datetime formats in other languages, for example: 1. XML Schema: http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema11-2/#nt-dateTimeRep 2. Dublin Core: http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/#date
